get wild and wet by not going under the rain showers. :-)

GAY NIGHT ON TUESDAY, JULY 10th AT SOMEPLACE ELSE

New Delhi now has an
Exclusive Gay & Lesbian Night at SOMEPLACE ELSE on Tuesday Nights. On
all Tuesdays it will be an exclusively Gay Night at Someplace Else, with
resident DJ Jayant doing a retro spin of the greatest hits of the 70s, 80s
and 90s (apart from the usual top 40 fare). It has really caught on
and Tuesday night is packed with lots of hot men dancing to great sounds from
the DJ. Drinks are reasonably priced at Rs. 150.00 each (so one can buy
two drinks at the bar with the entry coupons). This place is really
happening and is the place to be for all Gay Men and Women. Last Tuesday was
rocking beyond belief with over 120 hot men dancing and drinking till 3 in the
morning. This is definitely 'the' place to be during the week.

On reaching the venue for this party, one only
saw a sheer mass of men, must be numbering at least 200 plus, a lot of them
there for the first time. It was a high just being there especially since
the CQ factor was amongst the best as compared to other parties. Drag
Queens were in abundance as were cute boys and handsome men. It certainly was a
promising start to what could hopefully be billed as the party of the
year. But then things began to take a queer turn. First the
drinks ran out fairly early on and one was only left with one choice, it was a
take it or leave it situation and most were forced to take the leave it
route. So, a lot of us were left high and dry, since, as the old Chinese
philosopher Hoo-Choo-Me wrote eons ago, alcohol does a party make. Added
to this was the collapse of the evenings entertainment which started off on a
good note with a great performance by the dancing duo but then again, this was
pretty much it since after this it was downhill all the way. The music
system simply collapsed with a great shudder as if never to be heard from again
and in the interim, the MC (Mistress of Ceremonies for the uninitiated) was
heard screaming and wailing loudly warning everyone that the show would be
resumed in a few minutes. Hearing this, many were seen frantically
scattering towards the bar only to find even more shrieking and horrific wailing
emanating from those deprived souls who couldn't get a drink since there wasn't
any left! Good organisation this certainly did not make. Finally
though the Gods decided to help the organisers out of this ever increasing
cacophony caused by the cumulative screaming by the masses and finally, the
music system leapt out of it's trance and started to belt out some noise which
essentially meant that the show could go on. The dancers emerged from
behind the curtains, slightly apprehensive and expecting the worst but were
pleasantly surprised by the gamely audience who cheered lustily every time an
article of clothing was removed. The show stopper was Mr. Delhi himself
with an amazingly beautiful body who performed an erotic number with Mr. D of
the Dancing Duo. The Moll with the Doll sequence was mercifully brief and
the dance floor was once again packed immediately after the show ended.
Soon there were all sorts of men (?) boogying away though the music did leave
much to be desired. One bustier and panty clad pretend Queen was
desperately trying to bare all and finally managed to get her panties down to
her ankles which incidentally was not a pretty sight. Mercifully though,
better sense prevailed and the same were pulled up but the butt was left hanging
out. Very tempting.....NOT!

The saving grace of the party was the good location and the
sheer number of people who turned up but am sure that most were expecting a lot
more. The music needed a lot of improvement and the food was mediocre
though the fabric hanging around the entrance did look nice.

GAY NIGHT ON THURSDAY, MAY 3rd,
2001 AT MIRAGE, SURYA HOTEL

New Friends Colony has started a Gay and Lesbian Night. Last

themselves to the rhythm and a great atmosphere. This place is set to
become the most happening spot in Delhi for Gay Men and Women on Thursday
nights.

PRICE: Rs. 300 per head which
entitles one to ONE drink at the bar.

GAY PARTY ON FRIDAY, MARCH 9th,
2001 .....REVIEW

It could definitely have been a fun party but for the lack of
enough attendance and the fact that the CQ was on the lower side. There
were about 90 men who stayed on bravely till about 3 a.m. The music was
good, kept most of us on the dance floor, the booze did not run out and the
shaadi type food was, well, edible.

Don't really know if there was 'Love in the air' but certainly
there was a lot of 'Lust in the air'. And not just in the air, it was also
present on the dance floor, in all the shady corners and of course, behind most
of the bushes and secluded places. So all-pervading was it that most of
the 150 plus hot hunky men were seen caught in it's grip and were slaves to that
extremely volatile emotion. Even though it was a weekday, most people
stayed on till 4 in the morning and even when I left at around 3:30 a.m.
(debauchery at it's very best), the dance floor was rocking particularly when
the slow numbers came on because then the dance floor was rolling, literally and
figuratively (what with many of the couples just rolling along in a vice like
grip coupled with a frenzied exchanging of tonsils). It certainly was a
fun party, the booze lasted till the very end and there was food even though the
DJ kept screaming his lungs out trying to dissuade anyone from venturing near
the food area because he wanted everyone to dance to his
music.
